We’ve been Sittercity fans for years. After receiving a trial membership for review, I’ve renewed several times and we now have a promo code for our readers for $20 OFF.

Sittercity is a service that allows you to sort through potential sitters by distance, types of services, certifications, skills, and more. I can quickly get a sense of whether or not a candidate is worth interviewing based on how carefully she fills out her profile and the reviews from other families.

When Sittercity offered me the opportunity to test out their babysitter finding service, I found it so useful that I paid for my subscription when I moved and needed another sitter a year later.

And Sittercity is more than just baby sitters! Find elder care, house sitters, pet sitters, and tutors, too!

We’ve had a 10% Off exclusive discount and now you can save even more! Need a babysitter? The best local sitters are at Sittercity.com. Save 15% on registration with promo code SAVE15.

  As my maternity leave drew to a close, I started feeling anxious about leaving baby home with a babysitter. You can do thorough background checks and verify lots of references, but that won’t stop the nagging worries. 
What if the baby misses me while I’m gone? Will he take his nap on time? Will she know the proper way to soothe him when he cries? What if the babysitter got locked out of the house after taking baby for a walk? And do I even feel comfortable giving out a …

New Year’s Resolution: Spend more time together as a couple.
Why not start now?
I am guilty of avoiding this myself. I have the excuse that we’ve been in the middle of a move, but with a new house and a new year, it is time to find reliable child care so my husband and I can put on non-carrot stained clothes and enjoy a stolen hour or two reconnecting with the inner adult.
If this is too huge of a move, maybe take some baby steps and hire a sitter to watch …

My parents’ generation is sometimes known as the caretaker generation because they find themselves caring and providing for their aging parents, their adult children who find themselves in an uncertain job and housing market, and often their grandchildren, too.

When you are busy, it is tough to find time for yourself, your friends, your spouse…
Over here, we’ve been busy house hunting and settling into a new community. I would like to start volunteering more actively again, but my husband’s work schedule is very up in the air. Since we’re buying a house, it would also be great if I could work a few more hours a week.
My husband reminded me that we have a Sittercity subscription–and it is easy and inexpensive to add another zip code. …

Whether you are a working mom, a work at home mom, or a stay at home mom, you deserve a break. Quality childcare can be difficult to find, but Sittercity makes it easy.
